Uni Automator

Uni Automator is an automated testing framework specifically designed for uni-app applications, enabling developers to programmatically interact with and test their cross-platform applications across multiple deployment targets including WeChat mini-programs, H5 web applications, and native mobile apps.

Package Information

  • Package Name: @dcloudio/uni-automator
  • Package Type: npm
  • Language: JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Installation: npm install @dcloudio/uni-automator --save-dev

Core Imports

const automator = require("@dcloudio/uni-automator");

For ES modules:

import automator from "@dcloudio/uni-automator";

Basic Usage

const automator = require("@dcloudio/uni-automator");

describe("My App Tests", () => {
  let program;
  let page;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    // Launch the automation framework
    program = await automator.launch({
      platform: "h5", // or "mp-weixin", "app-plus"
      projectPath: "/path/to/uni-app-project"
    });
    
    // Navigate to initial page
    page = await program.reLaunch("/pages/index/index");
    await page.waitFor(1000);
  });

  it("should interact with elements", async () => {
    // Find and interact with elements
    const button = await page.$(".my-button");
    await button.tap();
    
    // Verify results
    const text = await button.text();
    expect(text).toBe("Expected Text");
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    await program.close();
  });
});

Architecture

Uni Automator is built around several key components:

  • Launcher: Entry point (exported function) that initializes the testing environment
  • Program Interface: Main controller (Program class) for application-wide operations
  • Page Management: Individual page instances (Page class) representing app screens/pages
  • Element Interaction: Element instances (Element classes) for DOM manipulation and testing
  • Platform Adapters: Platform-specific implementations for H5, WeChat mini-programs, and mobile apps
  • Jest Integration: Seamless integration with Jest testing framework through custom environment

Capabilities

Application Launcher

Core functionality for initializing and configuring the automation testing environment across different platforms.

/**
 * Launch the automation testing environment
 * @param options - Platform and project configuration
 * @returns Promise resolving to Program instance
 */
function launch(options: LaunchOptions): Promise<Program>;

interface LaunchOptions {
  platform: "h5" | "mp-weixin" | "app-plus" | "mp-baidu";
  projectPath?: string;
  cliPath?: string;
  timeout?: number;
  compile?: boolean;
  silent?: boolean;
  h5?: H5Options;
  "app-plus"?: AppPlusOptions;
  "mp-weixin"?: WeChatOptions;
}

Application Launcher

Program Control

Main interface for controlling the uni-app application, including navigation, system integration, and testing utilities.

class Program {
  // Navigation methods
  navigateTo(url: string): Promise<Page>;
  redirectTo(url: string): Promise<Page>;
  navigateBack(): Promise<Page>;
  reLaunch(url: string): Promise<Page>;
  switchTab(url: string): Promise<Page>;
  
  // Page management
  pageStack(): Promise<Page[]>;
  currentPage(): Promise<Page>;
  
  // System integration
  systemInfo(): Promise<SystemInfo>;
  callUniMethod(method: string, ...args: any[]): Promise<any>;
  
  // Testing utilities
  screenshot(options?: ScreenshotOptions): Promise<string>;
  exposeFunction(name: string, fn: Function): Promise<void>;
  pageScrollTo(scrollTop: number): Promise<void>;
  
  // API mocking
  mockUniMethod(method: string, implementation?: any, ...args: any[]): Promise<void>;
  restoreUniMethod(method: string): Promise<void>;
  
  // Code execution
  evaluate(fn: Function, ...args: any[]): Promise<any>;
  
  // WeChat specific
  remote(autoconnect?: boolean): Promise<void>;
  testAccounts(): Promise<TestAccount[]>;
  
  // Lifecycle
  close(): Promise<void>;
  teardown(): Promise<void>;
  disconnect(): Promise<void>;
}

Program Control

Page Interaction

Interface for interacting with individual pages/screens in the application, including element selection and page data manipulation.

class Page {
  // Element selection
  $(selector: string): Promise<Element | null>;
  $$(selector: string): Promise<Element[]>;
  
  // Page data
  data(path?: string): Promise<any>;
  setData(data: object): Promise<void>;
  callMethod(method: string, ...args: any[]): Promise<any>;
  
  // Page information
  size(): Promise<{width: number, height: number}>;
  scrollTop(): Promise<number>;
  
  // Waiting and timing
  waitFor(condition: number | string | Function): Promise<void>;
}

Page Interaction

Element Manipulation

Comprehensive element interaction capabilities for testing UI components, form inputs, and user interactions.

class Element {
  // Element information
  text(): Promise<string>;
  attribute(name: string): Promise<string>;
  value(): Promise<any>;
  property(name: string): Promise<any>;
  
  // Element interaction
  tap(): Promise<void>;
  longpress(): Promise<void>;
  trigger(event: string, detail?: any): Promise<void>;
  
  // Specialized element methods vary by component type
}

Element Manipulation

Jest Integration

Uni Automator provides seamless Jest integration through custom environment and teardown scripts:

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  globalTeardown: '@dcloudio/uni-automator/dist/teardown.js',
  testEnvironment: '@dcloudio/uni-automator/dist/environment.js',
  testEnvironmentOptions: {
    platform: 'h5',
    projectPath: process.cwd(),
    // Other launch options
  }
};

With Jest integration, the automator instance is automatically available:

describe('App Tests', () => {
  it('should work with Jest environment', async () => {
    // program is automatically available
    const page = await program.currentPage();
    const element = await page.$('.button');
    await element.tap();
  });
});
